Finding users

Use PeopleFinder or Directory Search to locate other WebSphere Portal users. The People Finder portlet appears in the People palette, so that users can find people in any context. Directory Search is available to users as part of a larger task, such as sending mail. Directory Search also enables users to search for user groups in addition to individual users.

• People Finder

  The People Finder portlet provides both quick search and advanced search options for locating people and information about people. Once found, a person is visible to other users as a person link that indicates online presence and displays a menu of instant messaging and other options.

• Directory Search

  The Directory Search portlet is a common embedded component that allows users to select names of people and groups.
